I move amendment No. 18:

In page 6, between lines 21 and 22, to insert the following:

"

Section 14(1)(a) In paragraph (a), delete ', or'.

"

This amendment relates to an anomaly in the legislation. I refer to the question of allowing a person to run for and secure election to two local authorities. A casual vacancy therefore arises, undoing the mandate of the people. That is questionable. I may consider tabling an amendment to the principal Act on Report Stage.
